“Jeni was wonderful. She's quick to respond - sends great pics, videos, and updates - and seems to know/understand dogs really well. We felt very comfortable with her staying at our home with our puppy.”

About: My passion for pups began by caring for dogs of family and friends, into raising two silly, energetic, dachshund boys of my own! I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind. This is why I treat every animal in my care with the same unconditional love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my boys. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of every background and breed including tiny Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and Pugs to high-energy Boxers and German Shepherds. No matter their unique personality, I adapt quickly to what makes them feel happy and safe. When booking with me, you can count on Schedule & Routine Maintenance (e.g., following your exact schedule for meals, walks, medication, and playtime so your pup stays relaxed and happy), Warm and Clear Communication (e.g., sending regular updates, photos, and clear check-ins so you always know how your pup is doing), Cleanliness & Organization (e.g., keeping your home clean, tidy, and organized while managing your pup’s living areas and supplies, and Dependability & Trust (e.g., showing up on time, respecting your instructions, and providing consistent, dependable care you can count on every single time). Thank you for stopping by my profile! Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 🐾 Managing my own work and school schedule gives me complete flexibility to adapt to you and your pup’s needs! Whether that be mid-day drop-ins, flexible walk times, or even occasional overnight care. In your home, I prioritize safety, routines, and cleanliness. Whether house sitting, dog sitting, or a quick drop-in, I’ll make sure to follow routines (e.g., feeding schedules, medication needs, and favorite walk routes to ensure your pup feels safe and comfortable), to respect your space (e.g., making sure doors and gates are securely locked, keeping keys safe, and ensuring your privacy every step of the way), and keeping things neat (e.g., clean up after feeding time, handle potty duty right away, and make sure you come home to a space just as clean and cozy as you left it).
“Diego was great! He came by a few days before to meet my pet Paco. They bonded right away! He took him out on long walks and was flexible with times I needed him. I will definitely be using Diego again!”
“Sanaz took care of our two dogs with so much care while staying at our house. She also watched over our bearded dragon and three leopard geckos, making sure their lights were on and off when they were supposed to be and their water topped up. I would have her in our home again! I felt very safe with her care and attention to all. Thank you, Sanaz!”
About: I have had many pets of all kinds. I love them all. As well as my own pets I have experience with other animals from volunteering at the West Valley Animal shelter as well as pet sitting for family and friends. I am very passionate about animal welfare. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and just keeping them company. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind they’re in good hands. I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I love to hang out with my own pets and would love to hang out with yours too! I have two dogs, one cat, and two birds. The dogs and cat have access to a doggy/cat dog that leads to the back yard which is fenced in.
“AMAZING!!! I just got a new pup only 9 weeks old and we have been attached at the hip. I had to go to an office lunch and was in such a stress to find him someone good. After being cancelled on I found Daniela. I knew off the bat she was a dog lover because she didn’t mind my little Harlows kisses ! She was truly great and I felt so relieved. She sent tons of feedback and pictures and even waited for me as I was running late. 100%%% recommendable. Thank you daniela!”
“Erika was great with my Labrador, she took great care, kept me updated, and followed all the instructions. She is super nice! She also left the house super clean and a special note for us. I am sure we will use her again.”
“Kim did a great job watching my baby. He is super shy and she handled it perfectly. She was trustful and communicative. Would definitely use her again either for sitting or walks or anything! Thank you Kim!!✨✨⭐️💫”
About: I have experience in caring for pets but also professional experience in the Veterinary field. I am a Vet technician so I am quite experienced with all pets and their needs. I currently work part time. My mornings are completely open and weekends as well! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see if we can be a good fit! As an experienced pet owner/ vet technician, I understand every pet is different and depending on their personality I will work around each pets needs and respect owners requests.
About: I have always loved animals and feel comfortable caring for small and medium dogs. I am calm, patient, and careful with pets. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and basic daily care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and send photo updates. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can give pets attention, walks, feeding, and regular potty breaks. I am usually available on weekdays and weekends, depending on the booking. I prefer to care for one pet at a time so I can be focused and responsible. I live in an apartment and I keep the environment clean, calm, and safe. I do not leave pets off leash outside. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, food, potty breaks, and attention. I prefer small and medium dogs.
“Yana is so lovely! She talks to my dog, which he loves and gives him lots of cuddles. Very caring and clearly loves taking care of dogs, which makes all the difference. I feel comfortable with her taking care of my dog.”
“Lisa was just what we needed for our pups. She was always on time, had clear communication and made sure our pups were fed, did their potty breaks, played fetch and got lots of love. She sent us lots of cute photos, too. Definitely recommend working with her if you want a reliable pet sitter.”
“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”

About: I've fed, cleaned after, bathed, played with, and loved a lot of dogs as well as horses, cats, and fish. It's a privilege to help. I'm a creative freelancer working on several projects, so I set my own schedule and am very flexible! I usually fit my other responsibilities around being available for pet care at a moment's notice, whether it's a walk during some down time or dedicating the time to doing a sitting. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and feel loved and taken care of. I also value respecting your home and your privacy.
“Taylor was a pleasure to work with! She was very communicative and kept us updated with our pet's needs. Letting us know if they were eating properly and how they were doing on their walks. Taylor was great with our dogs and sent wonderful pictures. She was very flexible when our dog had to have eyedrops given last minute right before we left. Her positive attitude and dedication gave us peace of mind while we were gone on vacation for a week. We knew our dogs were getting well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to use her again! We highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
We had a great experience with Samantha! She was very thorough with our instructions and sent pics and updates during the stay. She was also forthright with us about getting sick before our booking started so we could make an informed decision about whether or not we still wanted to proceed, which we thought was a responsible and classy move.
So happy to have Lisa watching my 2 pups the last three days. It was our first time with her and won't be the last! I've already booked her again. Lisa was great about communicating with me. She sent an update and pics twice a day without my having to prompt her. She had great rapport with my dogs, even with shy Riley. The house was in great condition when I got home. Lisa really cares about animals and doing a good job. I appreciate all you did while I was gone.
I could not have asked for a better dog and house sitter. I met Geena and explained what I wanted done with my dogs while I was away for 3 weeks; thier feeding times, walk schedule, sleeping arrangements, etc. I was relived that she was mature, responsibe, and trustworthy. She updated me daily with texts and photos of my (2) dogs whom I missed terribly. She brought in mail and kept the house nice and tidy and controlled the A/C. I was able to travel without worrying as I knew Geena was giving love and attention to my little ones. Without reservation I would hire Geena again !!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Diesel while we were out of town for two weeks! Sanaz was absolutely amazing with him. She didn’t just take wonderful care of him, she spent time training him, gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, we completely trusted her with Diesel and our home. She was reliable, caring, attentive, and clearly formed a real bond with him. In fact, I truly believe Diesel misses her! Since we’ve been home, he honestly seems a little heartbroken that his new best friend isn’t coming over anymore. That alone tells me how loved and well cared for he was while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend Sanaz to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who will treat their dog like her own. We will definitely be calling her again! ❤️
I have 2 small rescue dogs. They are nervous and timid. IULIA is so gentle and sweet with them. She communicates the whole time she is with them sending updates and photos. She is very detailed on what care each dog needs individually. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members!
Gillian was amazing!! She stayed at our house to watch our dog and two cats. She was very easy to communicate with and followed all directions! She kept us updated each day which was great. When we got home, the house was perfectly clean. I would highly recommend her!! She was also more than willing to do a meet and greet before the stay! Thanks Gillian!
Erika was wonderful! My dog is older and is not always keen to walk in the heat, so Erika took her to a shady park so my dog could roll around in the grass and in the shade and have lots of fun! My dog was happy and healthy when I returned! Thank you, Erika for a great job!!!
Audry was amazing when she babysat our dog Lucy. She took great care of her and her discipline on sticking with our pup’s schedule was well appreciated. This was the first time having a sitter stay in our home, and the trust and vulnerability this takes is huge but Audry made the experience less stressful or nerve racking as she took great care of our home and our Lucy. We will definitely book again, and won’t hesitate to reach out!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Northridge on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,848 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Northridge walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Northridge maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Northridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northridge. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
